Heather's Roasted Vegetables

I love vegetables, and thankfully (after much persistence) I have turned Terry on to them a bit. On certain nights I can't pick just one, so I roast a bunch of whatever looks nice at the market that day. Yesterday I stopped at our new and improved Smart and Final Extra, which has really nice produce and awesome prices. I found some great looking zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, an orange pepper and some mushrooms. I made Heather's Roasted Vegetables to go along with some Unbelievable Chicken and Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes.

Heather's Roasted Vegetables is one of the most simple side dishes that you can make. It is extremely versatile because you can use the produce you have on hand or whatever happens to look nice that day. I personally don't like roasting my vegetables for too long of time because I prefer for them to keep a good amount of firmness. Lunch for the next day is always on my mind, so I double most of my recipes. By keeping the roasting time down, the vegetables stand up to microwaving the next day much better. This is definitely my go-to in-a-pinch side dish. Heather's Roasted Vegetables seem to compliment almost any main dish.
